Morning.
Lyrics -
Who's gonna tell you when it's too late
When I can't run I feel better for a bit of alternative cardio Alehouse and the rower is supposed to be very good all round exercise. Car was collected a little after 1900hrs yesterday so now it's a question of waiting to see if they think it's repairable in which case I can have a courtesy car or not in which case I need an urgent replacement - but won't have a way of going to see any. Why the hire company wouldn't let me have a car even after the supervisor at the insurance company had spoken to them is baffling not to mention inconvenient. Had the legal people chasing me the last two days desperate to know about my injuries and out of pocket expenses for the last two days - they weren't happy when I told them I didn't want to claim for anything. Hope your hamstring improves quickly with the rest.
Come on emzap - priorities - let us know the news!
How was your visit RFJ?

Don't get excited, nothing to report!
Had more bloods done (some at 4 am!) Which as you can imagine I was thrilled about. Liver is still bad and pre-eclampsia also developed. Under control now though thankfully. Just a waiting game. No diabetic breakfast options (normal I've eaten by 7 so I'm starving right now). Waiting for a voucher for canteen but may give up waiting soon. Not much sleep due to very rude inconsiderate person on ward who decided it was ok to phone someone and complain she couldn't sleep, then shout at midwives all night...
Glad you're one step closer to solving the car lmh.
Hope the MS clinic went well rfj.
How's the hammy ale?
Have a lovely day all. Send calming vibes this way please
Caaalmmm, Emz! Hope your day improves. Keep posting!

Progression
Alehouse - unfortunately they are saying 48 hours for a decision so no end in sight just yet. Lots of stretching and foam rolling going on here too.
Enjoy the group run Hazel.
Sorry you didn't get your second run yesterday or the miles you wanted this morning Wabo, it's a pain when life gets in the way.
You are a sucker for punishment Dustin.
That's late for breakfast Poppy! Warmer here this morning too fortunately.
I ran further than I probably should this morning - my head needs it though my legs are quite clear that they don't feel they have had a rest despite the very light week last week.
Hm, thought I'd posted yesterday but seems I forgot to hit submit. D'oh.
Emzap: Oh man, you're really having a rough end to your pregnancy. Try yoga breathing and no toxic thoughts
Are you feeling a bit better, LMH? That's a long time with no rest … those insurance folk are just plain annoying.
Nice gym session yesterday, ale.
Sounds like hard work, Dustin. And well done on the fast mile at the weekend!
Hazel: For a moment I thought padding meant warm clothes enjoy your padded group run
What: 7 miles with strides
Why: schedule
Last hard: the last 15 weeks …
Last rest: yesterday although I did some power yoga
Lyrics: yes
And Sunday's were I ran, A Flock of Seagulls
Cold and windy at cricket. Floodlights on and people watching in gloves, hats and even wrapped in blankets! Supposed to be warmer today!
Sorry to hear about the. Indecision re the car, LMH. Sounds unfair! Not your fault and surely the point of insurance is for exactly this sort of eventuality!
I'm very calm except there's a high risk I'm going to hit someone else in this ward!
Got a voucher for food so can get what I want from the canteen. Midwives were great when I asked. My oh is staying with me, luckily they haven't kicked him out.
Lmh this car thing is a real pain. Are you completely immobile without it or can you get around a bit?
Ale what cricket? County?
Wabo lovely to have cuddles
Thanks for the support all. It's really keeping me going.
You sound in better spirits, Emz! No news on the birth?! And yes, county cricket, Lancs v Derbyshire. "We" are top of the table so a decent result here should seal promotion. Only stayed for the morning session but may go tomorrow pm weather permitting. Keep calm! And keep posting!
Alehouse - the main problem seems to have been with the hire car company refusing to accept the insurance companies assurances that they'd get paid which is just weird. I can't understand it at all and now it's the fact that I can only have a courtesy car if mine is repairable - surely i could have had one whilst they decided if it's going to take two days?
I might take a rest day after the race if I feel like it chicksta, they just happen when I feel they need to.
My main stress with being car less is that FiL is still in hospital in Nottingham.
That's a lot of walking, I've only managed 6km today.
If I am correct, LMH, it can take a couple of days for the inducing process to work. OH will know better! And where is he, by the way?
Cross training to report: mowed the lawns. Proper cross training in an hour or so.
LMH - not good, accidents and the ambulance chasers can be such a pain... hope you get everything sorted.
Intervals for me tonight 6 x .21m off same recovery, 4.5m in total.
The MS centre was interesting, catering for all areas of MS from light to extreme, the gym is set up for the latter, but there is an anti gravity treadmill (have to pay to use) and also an oxygen tank also with costs attached, generally a good set up, but dont think I will be using it much yet, but good to know where support is as they also have physios there too.
Take care all
PS think I know the lyrics
